Apple Overtakes Nvidia as World's Most Valuable Company
Apple closed trading on Monday as the world's most valuable public company, surpassing Nvidia in market capitalization. Nvidia had held the top spot since June 2025, when it overtook Microsoft. The reshuffle underscores shifting investor sentiment across major technology stocks.
Apple ended trading on Monday as the world's most valuable publicly traded company, overtaking Nvidia in market capitalization for the first time since the chipmaker claimed the top spot. Shares of the iPhone maker climbed as investors weighed the company's latest product and services performance.
Nvidia had led global rankings since June 2025, when it surpassed Microsoft on the strength of soaring demand for artificial intelligence chips. The company's valuation has since fluctuated alongside broader swings in AI-related stocks.
The change in ranking highlights how quickly leadership among the world's largest companies can shift, with Apple, Nvidia and Microsoft all trading within a narrow band of market capitalization in recent months.
